Bus Advertising

Each day buses are rotated on one of 23 routes enabling more people to see the ads. CityLink buses travel daily using 53 vehicles over 7,000 miles in a 74 plus square miles area. More than three million rides are provided each year. This advertising catches the consumer on the road and can affect actual calls with unrivaled traveling power.

The full-bus wrap and partial-bus wrap advertising dominates the road wherever it travels. The business or organization stands out with a higher impact display given the larger size of the advertising space available on fixed route buses. The two photos above are examples of full-bus wraps. The photo below on the left is an example of a half-bus wrap on one side of the bus. The photo below on the right is an example of a King Kong partial-bus wrap.

CityLink Bus Wrap Advertising Rates (All rates are based on per vinyl advertisement per month and do not include production or installation costs.)

The mininum contract length requirement for all bus wrap signage is 12 months.

Traditional Bus Board and Interior Advertising

The king-sized sign is the most requested size of sign. It is 12 feet long and it is located on the driver’s side of the bus. This sign makes a bold statement and is visible from a distance. The photo above on the left is an example of a standard king-sized sign. The photo on the right is an example of a tail-sized sign, which is located on the rear/back of the bus.

Interior signs are a perfect way to reach your customers as they travel.

Please note that rates for traditional bus boards and interior signage do not include production charges.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Traditional King and Tail bus board signs MUST be printed on a material such as corrugated plastic or PVC as they must be inserted into sign frames that are already mounted on the buses. King and Tail signs cannot be direct application vinyl.

Character of Advertising

The text and illustrations on cards and/or signs and the paper and/or other display material used are subject to approval by GPMTD, and their decision as to the acceptability is final. All advertisements should be of a reputable character, conform to recognized business standards and not conflict with the laws of the United States, Illinois or political subdivisions. Immoral, vulgar, disreputable or other advertisements that may be offensive to the public will not be accepted. Advertising for tobacco, alcohol products and advertisements with “adult” themes are expressly prohibited. All artwork for signage should be submitted for approval to the CityLink Director of Marketing and Public Relations prior to the signage being produced and/or printed.

The GPMTD Board of Trustees adopted a formal Advertising Policy on August 15, 2017. Potential advertisers are encouraged to view the policy prior to having artwork designed for bus signs and/or wraps.
